Yes, there's a lot to like about the Pi Zero with WiFi... but camera adds to the cost and all Pi variants are currently solid unobtainium.

The ESP32-CAM is still only $7 including a 2MP camera and WiFi and Bluetooth, and works with the Arduino environment. I published a paper on using ESP32-CAM as a programmable camera research platform in January; here are my presentation slides . Many people are using ESP32-CAM; here are 60+ ESP32-CAM Projects, Tutorials and Guides with Arduino IDE from RandomNerdTutorials.

luckily I bought a couple, before supplies dried up

btw, the cost of a raspberry pi 4b w 8gig has really increased, over what I bought one for

it's so expensive now that it makes installing linux on an old laptop more worthwhile. And the performace should be way better than the raspberry pi 4b.

plus I have a couple...need to dig them up and check if they still work...
